Leng Ji supported Fu Ning and retreated to the side.
Everyone was looking at Chu Huaiyu.
Chu Huaiyu, who had just been injected by Chu Qianli, was covering her face and screaming.
Her appearance was terrifying, making one's scalp tingle!
Her face began to look strange, as if faint pink marks were slowly appearing.
Soon, the faint pink marks became clear, looking like scars!
"Cosmetic surgery?"
Chu Qianli's palm tightened!
She hadn't expected this. Before the injection, she couldn't be sure what Chu Huaiyu's face had gone through.
She had heard that witchcraft was popular in this era, and perhaps some kind of蛊 (gu) had been used.
But she never expected it to be cosmetic surgery!
Chu Huaiyu's face had indeed been operated on!
How could this be?
Did cosmetic surgery exist in this era?
"She... she..." Qin Liuyan trembled all over, frightened by Chu Huaiyu's face.
Now that the scars had appeared, Chu Huaiyu's original facial structure was gradually revealed.
It wasn't Chu Huaiyu at all!
It was another face!
Even though her face was covered in scars, everyone could clearly see that it was another face!
"She's not Huaiyu, she's really not Huaiyu..."
Qin Liuyan murmured, then suddenly remembered something, and with a thud, knelt on the ground, clutching the cloth bag brought by Han Zhan.
Immediately, she began to cry bitterly, "Huaiyu, Huaiyu! How could you... how could you...呜呜呜, it's my fault! I didn't know anything! My Huaiyu!"
"Ah..." Chu Huaiyu was still screaming.
Chu Qianli stepped forward again, examining her face closely.
The scars looked very similar to modern cosmetic surgery, but they might not be the same.
The world was full of wonders, was it truly cosmetic surgery?
"Chu Qianli, you ruined everything for me, I'll kill you!"
Suddenly, Chu Huaiyu roared, seemingly about to pounce on Chu Qianli.
Fu Ning immediately cried out, "Miss, be careful!"
Chu Qianli's internal injuries had not healed, and she was clearly still feeling unwell today.
Her steps were much slower than usual.
Just as she was worrying if she could dodge Chu Huaiyu's attack, a tall figure appeared before her in an instant.
He stretched out his long arm, easily pulled her into his embrace, and retreated several steps with her.
Chu Huaiyu, however, was sent flying and spitting blood by a palm from Feng Yexuan.
But she didn't stop. Taking advantage of Feng Yexuan escorting Chu Qianli to safety, she immediately got up and lunged at Fu Ning, who was not far away.
Fu Ning only saw a blur before her eyes, and her throat suddenly tightened.
Her throat was being choked by Chu Huaiyu!
Feng Yexuan's face darkened, and he was about to act.
Unexpectedly, after striking twice, his qi was disturbed, and as he gathered his true qi, his chest was suddenly pulled.
He almost spat blood!
"Your Highness, your injuries are no less severe than Miss Chu's. Don't move recklessly!" Leng Ji exclaimed.
In that moment of hesitation, Chu Huaiyu dragged Fu Ning and leaped up, fleeing towards the backyard.
In the night sky, her eerie, hoarse voice reached everyone's ears:
"Chu Qianli, I told you, no one around you will have a good ending! Do you remember how your maid Qian'er died? I forced scissors into her body, even the handle, you know? Hahaha..."
By the time she finished laughing, her voice was clearly very distant.
Chu Qianli pushed Feng Yexuan away and was about to chase after her.
Feng Yexuan grabbed her wrist, "Your internal injuries haven't healed, you're not allowed to go!"
"You're more seriously injured than I am! Don't stop me!"
She truly hadn't expected this guy's internal injuries to be this severe.
Before this, his steps were steady, and no one could tell.
Leng Ji said anxiously, "Your Highness's serious injuries from last time haven't healed yet, and last night he used his qi to help you all night..."
"Shut up!" Feng Yexuan's eyes darkened.
These trivial matters were not necessary for the dead woman to know.
If he told her, she would laugh at him for caring about her.
Chu Qianli met his gaze, and Feng Yexuan immediately said displeasuredly, "How could I be so fragile!"
After throwing her aside, he lightly tapped his feet and leaped up.
In a flash, he disappeared into the night.
He was going to chase Chu Huaiyu and rescue Fu Ning.
In fact, Fu Ning meant nothing to him; they had never even interacted.
But the expression on his face as he chased after her seemed as if he were pursuing someone extremely important.
Chu Qianli also wanted to use her qi to chase after him.
However, her wrist was caught again.
"Let go..."
"Your complexion is so bad. If you force yourself to use your qi again, it will at least damage your heart脉, and at worst, it will be life-threatening."
Leng Ji had already chased after them. The one holding her wrist now was naturally the only expert present, Han Zhan.
"She already killed Qian'er, I can't let Fu Ning die under her hands too!"
Chu Qianli shook her hand forcefully.
Han Zhan said in a deep voice, "I'll take you."
With that, he extended his long arm and helped her up.
The two leaped up and quickly chased towards the direction of the back mountain.
At this moment, only two servants remained in the courtyard, along with Qin Liuyan, who was kneeling on the ground.
Clutching the cloth bag, Qin Liuyan wept heartbrokenly.
Her Huaiyu, her Huaiyu!
Was heaven punishing her?
Because she had done so many wrong things?
Why didn't the retribution fall upon her?
Her Huaiyu was innocent!
"Huaiyu..."
Her mournful cries were particularly clear under the night sky.
Sorrowful and desolate, the cries lingered on and on...
...
Chu Huaiyu held Fu Ning hostage by the cliff.
If Feng Yexuan hadn't been so seriously injured internally, she wouldn't have had the chance to get this far.
Seeing Feng Yexuan's face clearly pale as ash, yet still following her all the way, Chu Huaiyu was not only angry but also sad.
"Do you care so much about Chu Qianli? Even a maid by her side, you care so much? You are the high and mighty Prince Xuan!"
She was unwilling!
That bitch Chu Qianli did nothing, and even opposed him everywhere. Why wasn't he angry, but instead protected her all the time?
He could even risk his life for that bitch?
And she truly liked him, she had never liked a man this much.
Yet she had poured out her heart for him, even thinking of betraying her master for him!
Why would he not even deign to look at her more than once?
Before, he believed she was Long Qianyue's daughter, only giving her some protection out of respect for Long Qianyue.
Now that he knew she wasn't, he had no pity for her anymore, did he?
"Your Highness, I like you so much, why can't you like me back? What's so good about Chu Qianli? She doesn't care about you at all, why are you still willing to do this for her?"
